Apple's leadership transition to CEO John Ternus

Dana Whitfield Pencil support sounds useful but I doubt the hinge will survive daily drops and pocket lint.
Dana Whitfield A foldable iPhone might be neat but I bet the crease and battery life will be issues in daily use.
Nicole Hardy If the event shows real all-day tracking without the usual midday top-up, that alone might be worth upgrading for.
Maya Lindstrom Apple should ignore the tips since Samsung is mainly trying to slow down a competitor that might do it better.
Elena Vasquez Stocks sliding ahead of the Apple event shows investors are wary of any tech disappointment.
Priya Raman I hope these new features don't push people to upgrade every year just for minor AI tweaks.
Jared Kim A folding phone from Apple feels overdue, but I'm more curious if Ternus will push any real software changes or just keep the same old approach.
Jared Kim The bigger slate sounds promising but I worry it means even higher prices across the board.
Marcus Bell Can't wait to see if that teaser hints at a foldable iPhone or just another color option.
Elena Vasquez Security patches like this one are the main reason I keep my devices updated right away.
Priya Raman Starting at that price would price out most people and hurt sales overall.
